anybody know why I can't access files from projects? Message comes up - 'administrator permission required' although I am logged in as administrator on computer (running Vista) and have opeened Pinnacle as administrator.

I hate these kind of problems. I don't like Vista for this reason. I have one Vista PC on my network at work and it is a pig to share files with compared to the XP machines. You could try right clicking the folder where you keep your projects and check the permissions for that folder. Other than that it could be a number of different things. Sorry to be vague but I'm not an expert with Vista.
